Default Here is the deal...

I am aware of only one version. This model has a fuselage length of apx. 48"

I got tired of trying to find kits of this great design about a year ago. I contacted Bolly. They said it was out of production, and that they had sold the rights to a company in New Zealand. I contacted them and they said they had no plans to prouce the kits. By chance I found a kit on ebay. I copied the plans and all of the laser cut pieces not shown on the plans. I had someone scan all of this into CAD to enable me to have the parts laser cut. To finance this I had to sell the kit. (Sounds crazy, but I made enough off the sell of the kit to pay for the CAD work and the laser time for the first two "kits") My intention was not to make this a commercial venture, merely creating a source for replacement parts for myself.

The design now uses English measurement woods instead of the mix of metric and English the original used. Otherwise the design is identical.
The plans have not been redrawn yet. I am using the original plans (or actually copies of the original plans.)
